What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Bennarion]

Another Iron Heart arrived today. It’s nice. I love the 21oz non selvedge. Has a smoother feel, not as hairy and the electric blues seem to pop a bit more. Fit on this is a bit more trim than I expected but I suspect it’ll give a bit with wear. Pretty cool.

Cool. What does a jacket look like if fastened?

How heavy are those 21 or 23 oz jean jacket?

A size 42, denim rider/racer as above weighs around 1380g, 3.04lbs, I can’t be anymore accurate than that

Little tight and a little short. I’ll probably have to do the dreaded soak, wear until dry/ self loathing exercise with this one but that can wait.

Dude, seriously, this is the coolest jacket you've had in a while and I'm jealous. Can't believe I never got this one!

Perfect, what's the weight of the jacket?

Great fit. Yes you are right. You need to wet her jacket, put it on yourself and do a bench press with a barbell

Cold rainy NJ day, figured it would help the Model J Vanson yield a little but no luck. I need about 1/2” extra on the hip area as this is a fairly slim 40. Good fit up top but slightly tight on the lower half. Might be up for grabs in the classifieds soon. I’m unfortunately probably a perfect size 41, that no ones makes off rack. Apologies for dirty mirror!

Cool jacket. I bought one two years ago but had to return it to Vanson. Sizing just didn't work out but I do like that jacket and wish it fit. I bought a 40 and I think the 38 was too small going by their measurements and I am between sizing. Their sleeve lengths are always pretty long for me also.

On a side note, getting any kind of measurements out of Vanson was a very hard endeavour and was like pulling teeth. These companies really need to list measurements on their sites.

Vanson will make you a custom sized one as far as I know but I did not want to spend the extra cash or deal with the wait.

If you can, please pm me the measurements of your size 40. Maybe if it is on the smaller side it may work for me if you sell yours. Sleeves longer than 25.5" may be a problem for my stubby little arms.

50’s Perdecto by Schott, maybe the first double rider made under their own brand ( before, they were under Beck’s licence)
A rarity!

This is a great jacket, looks great on you. I've got one as well and love it. Its pretty neat you've got some fades started, I believe IH treats the denim on this jacket for fade resistance. The jacket is so cleanly put together, my only wish was that the pocket bags were sewn in completely so they functioned as interior pockets like they do in the truckers.

Looks OK as is. Is this over a tee/shirt rather than the quilted/filled from the first post?

A cold and windy day in the sun, Aero Grizzly keeping me warm. Stay safe everyone!

Nice sashiko work, your own? Is the scarf Tootal?

I dug out an old wax jacket with similar fabric so you can see what it might look like with some wear.

@Hh121, which Schott is that?

Thanks! It’s my own stitching. Second time I’m experimenting with sashiko repairs, and while it’s far from perfect I think it’s improving. The scarf is Tootal, bought from Aero a few years ago.

Thanks. Looks like they made these in 1992 or so, no longer in production. Nice jacket!
